TFIL: One Shots of Joy

#Corby : Finding Peace

Corey's arms around the brunette's waist, their legs dangling off the high mattress.

Colby knew it was over for him. He could never move again. Every once in a while, he'd find himself just too comfortable to dare move.

But he could never find rising peace in the knowledge that his lover was just as comfortable.

After all, those depressing thoughts latched onto his brain and shrieked into his face that his lover only did this so he was comfortable.

He had begun to believe that he had started making Corey feel terrible and uncomfortable, as if their relationship were toxic.

But, as if on cue, the bun of sweet and purity had dragged the male from his thoughts, snuggling into his neck with a low hum.

"Colby? Whatcha thinking about?"

The brunette always giggled at the other's concerned, finding it simply too cute not to respond in such a way, "What do ya mean?"

"You're always frowning when your thoughts are troubling you."

Colby smiled softly, "'M fine."

The movie was paused, a meek frown leaving an indent on his lips.

"Babe?"

Colby shifted around so his legs were around Corey's waist, pulling the other against his chest and hiding in Corey's shoulder.

He sniffled gently and nuzzled deeper, "Just tell me, okay? Tell me if you're ever upset with me..."

"Cole, come on, I'm not upset with you, I don't understand."

The male sighed softly, "I just need confirmation that you're still okay with me..."

The sexy man with the bun simply grinned and pulled apart from the other, placing his hands on his shoulders, "I'm never NOT going to be okay by your side, Colby."

Colby smiled through his sniffling, the tears simply crowding his eyesight and annoying his moment.

The man gently scooted off the bed, hoisting his hands to grasp the male's thighs and hold him around his waist.

He stood and gently stood his boyfriend in front of him, pecking his lips with a beaming smile.

Corey's smiles were always contagious, sending bright rays of light to warmth his cold thoughts and shatter his shadowed heart.

He felt himself melt as the other stepped back and winked at him.

"To my beloved boyfriend, who I love so fucking much," the male paused and gently wrapped his fingers around a box behind his back.

He smiled even more at Colby, allowing the words to settle in as he took place on the ground, one knee placed in front of his back leg.

The brunette went from smiling to furrowed brows and a small gasp, "Corey-"

The man smiled even more and gently bowed his head, reciting what he'd been screaming at a mirror for weeks now,

"With your beautiful blue eyes that seem to shine when I look at you and that warm smile you're always carrying when I'm around."

Colby felt warm droplets of salt rushing down his cheekbones now, hands covering his lips as he let out small sobs.

He wasn't depressed, not in the slightest.

Who could be when a handsome man by your side for three years had finally been reciting out an entire play to your very existence?

"You're absolutely sexy body," the male smirked and winked, "And to our nights together when we're asleep and cuddling or awake and partying."

The brunette tried to smile through his sobbing, his face was probably bright red with how hot it had begun to feel in the room.

He could feel his face practically melting off from pure embarrassment, joy, love, passion, and god damn whatever other emotions were attacking his usually neutral heart.

"I absolutely adore your laughter, how loud you get when you're excited, and extremely protective you were of me at the haunted Ranch,"

"I was especially thankful to have you when my dog had died and when my mother passed away,"

"And I am especially thankful that you've stuck around long enough to make this day so special that you're sobbing and I'm about to cry, too."

The brunette let out a breathy, almost raspy laugh, trying to wipe the frustrating tears from his eyesight so he could see this glowing man of purity.

This hero that he loved; This sexy man he'd known and loved for so long;

This absolute pure being confessing how much he loved every single thing about him at this exact moment.

"Will you marry me?"
